Establishing standards for Operator evaluation

London Dec. 5th, 2023 – Today we are announcing the establishment of the first open methodology for Node Operator performance evaluation, together with the Liquid Collective. This is the first deliverable and product of the partnership we announced earlier this year.

Together with Alluvial, the developer of the Liquid Collective protocol, and in collaboration with Coinbase Cloud, Figment and Staked, we have composed a comprehensive, open methodology on evaluating Node Operators for performance and risk.

The release cadence of the body of work starts today, with the methodology we developed to define and measure operator performance, as well as setting and enforcing SLAs between protocol and node operators downstream of the performance measurement.

In parallel, this methodology will be hereon adopted by the Liquid Collective set, and establishes the Rated Validator Effectiveness Rating (RAVER) as the core metric to track, manage and incentivise for operator performance.

👉 You can follow the publishing schedule and engage with the open methodologies via github.com/liquid-collective/operator-standards

We are thrilled to have contributed to and via the RAVER be a core part of, a true industry first; a set of objective, transparent and reliable metrics that define and measure the performance of an active set of Ethereum validators.

Establishing a common language and standards in infrastructure, is both core to our mission as a company, as well as a vital next step for the industry's healthy evolution.
